NASA and IBM released a Lunar Foundation Model trained primarily on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data for research tasks such as crater and volcanic-feature mapping and possible polar-ice analysis.
NASA reports that a COFFIES machine-learning model can predict the appearance of solar active regions, including far-side emergence, up to 12 hours before they appear.
TESSERA provides 10-meter, pixel-wise annual embeddings learned from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. ESA says the model first launched in 2025; its repository and a peer-reviewed CVPR 2026 paper now document the work.
AnomalyMatch processed 99.6 million Hubble Legacy Archive cutouts and the study reports 1,339 anomalies, more than 800 of them previously undocumented, with experts reviewing the candidates.
An AEP Ohio tariff effective July 23, 2025 requires a load study for new or expanding data-center requests of at least 25 megawatts and creates minimum-demand, collateral and cancellation obligations.
Quincy owns and operates a reuse utility financed by Microsoft. EPA estimates that recirculating cooling-water blowdown avoids 138 million gallons a year of potable-groundwater demand; the loop still needs canal and groundwater make-up water.
Loudoun County reports $1.2 billion in data-center property-tax revenue for FY 2026 and projects $1.3 billion—40% of the county budget—for FY 2027, while maintaining a reserve for volatility.
Mäntsälä’s utility has circulated recovered server heat into the town-centre district-heating network since 2015. Nivos said in 2025 that it supplied about one-third of the network’s heat.
Saint Martin’s University reports that 19 of 20 Spring 2026 data-center technician graduates received Oracle offers after a 12-week program; reported average starting pay was about $80,000 plus relocation.
Google publishes a technician day-in-the-life video and a careers guide spanning hardware, electrical, cooling, network, logistics, and site operations. The material is useful for role orientation, not a verified worker outcome.
Google’s 2022 profile says KP Philpot moved from contractor site-safety work on a data-center build into an environmental health and safety role at Alphabet’s Douglas County campus.
New Albany’s 2024 financial report describes about 200 existing Meta campus employees and 1,200 construction workers on the expansion site, while labeling 300 employees and 1,800 construction workers as future estimates.
Pennsylvania’s May 2026 GRID standards make investment, workforce, energy, water and community commitments conditions of Commonwealth support; the thresholds are commitments, not jobs or savings already delivered.
Ohio’s Legislative Service Commission reports that the Ohio Supercomputer Center served 9,725 clients from 2,345 organizations in FY 2024, including 65 academic institutions, and supported 209 courses teaching more than 6,750 students.
A Northwestern-led team used Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center’s Bridges-2 system to compare 211 childhood sudden-death genomes with 211 matched controls and reported associations for future study.
NOAA EPIC reports that one named Unified Forecast System regression test ran about 30–40% faster on Ursa than on Hera under the Intel compiler—a development result, not evidence of a more accurate forecast.
A December 2025 FERC order directed PJM to create service paths for large co-located loads, require payment for grid services, and assign specified reliability-upgrade costs before existing generation can redirect capacity.
DOE reports that NREL’s thermosyphon hybrid system avoided 2.10 million gallons over two years and cut data-center water use in half by using dry heat rejection when weather allowed while retaining a cooling tower for peak conditions.
East Brandywine Township’s July 2026 ordinance requires qualified preconstruction modeling and an as-built study within 180 days, including peak cooling, generators under load, low-frequency sound, calibration records, corrective action and retesting.
